Gardens

"Gardens flourish in times of peace and societal well-being.
Gardens can also contribute to peace building.
It is to be hoped that regional botanical gardens will contribute in time
to public space for leisure interaction as well as fostering
environmental consciousness and greater appreciation
of gardening and conservation of endemic plants."

A seasonal stroll through the Samen Eco Gardens promises to be festive for the eyes and soothing for the soul and spirit.

- Enjoy the lush greenery of the gardens walking between a wide variety of native and subtropical fruit trees and a selection of ornamental plants;
- Stop at the natural pond with its lovely green water plants that constitute landing platforms for the insects coming to hydrate;
- Admire the lovely insect hotel that offers appropriate housing for beneficial insects living in our gardens;
- Contemplate the green roofs and the green walls that are a lovely sight and add surface to the green landscape;
- Walk down to the plant nursery where a large assortment of plants growing in our gardens is displayed;
- Visit the private collection of orchids in the greenhouse;
- Marvel at the many cacti and succulents;
- Relax in one of our lounging areas and absorb the harmonious energy of the place.

For your enjoyment, we've chosen the following selection of photos taken in our gardens across all seasons.
